Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teaching about Classification of Teachings – Other-Power and Self-Power
淨宗判教 – 自他二力判
(continued)
It is the understanding of the Consciousness Only School that all Dharmas are only the manifestations of consciousness, including the Land of Bliss and Amitabha Buddha. So, one should rely on one’s own power to cultivate in the Land of Saha, and become a Buddha through the ultimate realization of the Buddha’s Awakening. Once realized, all terrains become the pure land. It is because this realization transcends the relativity of “pure” and “defiled”.
萬法唯識,即使是極樂世界,即使是阿彌陀佛,也是從他心中所產生的,唯心的,那是自力的法門;必須依自己的力量來修成佛,在這娑婆世界修行,最終證悟佛果。他一旦證悟佛果的話,山河大地對他來講,沒有不是淨土,都是淨土,因為超越淨與穢,哪有什麼淨土、穢土的分別?
Namo Amituofo!
